At Rogers & Norton, we understand the impact that clinical or medical negligence can have on your life.

That’s why our dedicated Clinical Negligence team is here to offer compassionate, clear and specialist legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
What is clinical negligence?
Clinical negligence (also known as medical negligence) occurs when a healthcare professional or provider delivers substandard care that causes injury, makes an existing condition worse, or results in avoidable pain and suffering.
If you believe your treatment was negligent, you may be entitled to compensation.
We can help with a range of clinical negligence claims, including:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors or unnecessary surgery
- Medication and prescription errors
- Dental negligence
- Ophthalmic (eye care) negligence
- Negligent maternity or birth-related care
- Negligence in A&E or emergency treatment
- Hospital and nursing negligence
- Care home and nursing home negligence
- GP negligence
- Fatal medical negligence claims
How to make a clinical negligence claim?
We offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation, where we’ll listen to your experience and help assess whether you have grounds for a claim. We’ll also outline a clear plan for gathering the necessary evidence and expert medical reports to properly evaluate the strength and value of your case.
Every clinical negligence case is unique. We take the time to fully understand what happened to you and how it has affected your life. With expert legal support and access to trusted clinical specialists, we’ll work to secure the compensation you need to move forward.
From the outset, your claim will be handled by an experienced legal team who will guide you through the legal process with care, transparency, and professionalism. You’ll have direct contact with your lawyer via phone and email, and we’re happy to arrange face-to-face meetings as well as appointments via Microsoft Teams.
